Re: Canada to send six CF-18s for Libya 'no-fly' mission

@ old fella "history is written by those who conquer" I thought what you added to the discussion was useful. Being somewhat older I'm assuming, It helps to have a longer view in situations like Libya or Vietnam. dash-ate added some good points too. sharp points. Although I don't agree with all of da...

Re: Canada to send six CF-18s for Libya 'no-fly' mission

@hedley "lack of action on Lybia. And somehow you conclude that the USA is using it's lack of participation to play a greater role?!" I'm not sure how you came to this conclusion, from what I wrote. Do you think that military aggression, is the only U.S. foreign policy? And are you drunk or stoned? ...
